Overture to The Marriage of Figaro
Edited by James Olcott. Scored for two Bb piccolo trumpets, six Bb trumpets, and optional timpani. An exciting and excellent transcription moved from D major to Bb major for better accessibility. This spritely piece is great fun to play and a perpetual audience pleaser.
ITG Journal, January 2019, page 86:"Overall, this is a thoughtful and effective arrangement that allows trumpeters a chance to perform in a style and genre not often found in the trumpet repertoire. Possessing a fair amount of technical demands and minor range and endurance considerations, this arrangement is suitable for a collegiate ensemble." "...at four minutes, making it a great addition to a recital or concert prelude." "(Olcott's) skillful addition of articulations, dynamic, and phrase markings are idiomatic to the trumpet and allow the ensemble to imitate the original orchestration well."
